PECOS HIGH SCHOOL NATATORIUM REPLACEMENT
CURRENT STATUS: AWAITING DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Built in 1981, the Pecos High School Natatorium has been home to a successful swimming and diving program and has supported the local PBTISD community through various activities and events. Such as summer swimming lessons, etc. This facility is now over 40 years old and has outlived its useful life cycle. It additionally is not ADA Compliant and has limited space for spectators and coaches.
The PHS Natatorium Replacement will be placed behind the current Natatorium so the swimming and diving team is not disrupted or displaced at any time.
PBTISD PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & PARENT SUPPORT CENTER
CURRENT STATUS: AWAITING DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
With the opening of the new Austin Elementary (Pre-K to 1st grade), the existing 3rd Grade wing and Cafeteria space will remain.
Through the May 2023 Bond, PBTISD will renovate the existing structure of the 3rd Grade wing and turn it into a professional development center for staff to bring world-class training to PBTISD! Currently, staff occasionally have to travel an hour and a half to Midland/Odessa for certain trainings. With a training facility in PBTISD, we will be able to save the hassle of travel for our staff!
Additionally, the facility will also act as a parent support center! PBTISD will be able to create a centralized place for parents to attend special meetings, help with registration and other paperwork, or just a center with access to digital devices!
PBTISD TRANSPORTATION ADDITIONS/RENOVATIONS
In the Fall of 2022, when the former Volunteer Firehouse ceased operations, the district acquired the building on the property adjacent to the current district transportation facility. With the 2023 Bond, the district will renovate the old firehouse to provide mechanical shop space, add a fuel depot, and pave the areas of the transportation lot, which are currently dirt and gravel.
